This week’s openSUSE Tumbleweed snapshot updates remained steady and small other than the release of KDE Frameworks 5.109.0 in one of the snapshots.

Daily snapshots were released this week other than the exception of one.

The refreshable braille display package snapshot brltty 6.6 updated in snapshot 20230822, the introduced patches and updated the Application Programming Interface to enhance the BrlAPI service. The update addresses compatibility issues with Cython 3.0 to resolve a crash related to object finalization APIs. An update to libreoffice 7.6.0.3 brought several enhancements to include a convenient Page Number Wizard and improvements in paragraph style. The character properties from .DOCX to .ODT filename extensions were retained, and a new citation handling feature was introduced. Calc spreadsheet had fixes for conditional border color export, added support for drawing styles for shapes and comments and improved formula input. There were some enhancements for fontwork and improvement to the navigation panel for presentations with Impress and Draw. An update to the yast2-trans package update had Latvian and Catalan language updates via Weblate.

As we managed to get the timing pretty right (which was more based on luck than anything else; timings for build and QA are only very rough estimates) we managed to publish 6 snapshots since the last review. At the moment, we do not yet have a new snapshot building, as the service migration seems to have left a few services in limbo – e.g. openQA is, up to the moment of this writing, not able to sync snapshots from OBS. So we rather slow down than risk sending out untested stuff.

> The six snapshots (0817, 0818, 0819, 0821, 0822, and 0823) delivered during the last week brought you these changes: [...]
